delicious seasonal eats
Scene: It’s 6:00 am Christmas morning. The kids didn’t fall asleep until midnight. You were up late fighting about discussing the assembly of the new toy kitchen with your spouse. Then you still had to put out the presents and fill the stockings. You’ve only slept for what seems minutes instead of hours. The kids have […]
Remember when I posted a recipe last summer for a Leek-Goat Cheese Tart? My new favorite pizza is a take on it. I went a step further and caramelized the onions and leeks. OH MY. We’ve eaten this quite a few times over the last few weeks. I simply cannot get enough. We also grated […]
Wonderful Ingrid left a comment asking the following question regarding ice cream: Lindsey, I have a question…when making the custard do you remove it from the heat as soon as it hits 160 or after it hits 160, coats the back of a spoon, AND you can leave a trail? I know this can be […]
(Click HERE for the updated recipe.) Peppermint Bark Brownies have one of my most asked for and popular recipes. People love these! The idea for Peppermint Bark Brownies came from my friend, Tania, who brought me brownies topped with a layer of melted (and cooled) Andes Mints when I had my second baby. The following […]
Back in March I posted the recipe for Aunt K’s BBQ Beef. Since then I’ve had a flood of e-mail questions regarding the recipe. I decided to go back to the source (Aunt Khali herself) to have all the questions answered and then repost it with better directions. (After reading the original post again […]
picture: Four Easy Cheese Appetizer Ideas Kiasa wrote to me yesterday asking about creating a cheese course. (I immediately started salivating…and thinking.) Last night my husband (and muse) and I sat down to discuss fromage. What would we put on our cheese plate? We came up with a few things to keep in mind when […]
I originally posted this back in November of 2006, but I figured if you are a new reader, you may not have seen it, and it’s that time of year again! Every year my mom would make homemade caramels. If I was lucky, she would let me stir it while it cooked. I loved the […]
This, my friends, is a molcajete. I received this as a birthday gift in 2004 from some dear friends. My friend, a very good cook in his own right, hauled this and one for himself, all the way from Mexico to NY. It’s as heavy as it looks. Fast forward 3+ years, I am finally […]
Okay, okay. This is where I get sort of bossy. In order to make a really, really, really good cake, you MUST have a stand mixer. Did you get that? MUST. It doesn’t have to be this one that I love so dearly. But, you should really invest in one. If I had a king […]
I received the book pictured below for my birthday this year. (P.S. It’s on sale right now!) I have checked this book out many, many times from my local library, so it was a great gift for my husband to have bought me. I’m a huge fan of the cooking shows on PBS, but especially […]
